Ion diode simulation for pulsed power generators with stationary codes

The calculations with the 2.0 D and 2.5D versions of the stationary code BFCPIC have been extended in various directions. A particular concern was a better understanding of the enhancement of the ion current in ion diodes with an applied magnetic field. Ad hoc assumptions for the anomalous transport of electrons and of plasma motion have been introduced and the results will be discussed.
